Tragic Lantern / Re: 50D and 40D Raw video

Hey guys,

hereĀ“s a test of my new Slider with 50D Raw.


Infos: http://550draw.blogspot.com/

Hey there! Very impressive video. Some shots are SO filmic that I have to convince myself it was shot on 50D  ;D

May I ask you (without being frowned at by others  :o ): do you have any special technique/hints how to avoid aliasing when shooting so many straight construction lines? I tend to think that I would have gotten aliasing everywhere in shot should I have shot what you did.

Thanks!

Interesting comparison of BMPC against 5dM3 and 7d ML (why not 50d????):

Beta 1 was ok,but since Beta 2 Resolve 10 crash every time I try to open a Cinema DNG, even going to a directory with some of these files with the Resolve 10 file explorer crash it straight !

I just got the clarification from BMD Support:

That issue should be sorted in the next Beta release. I don't have a time estimate for when the next Beta will be released.

http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13534&p=85981#p85981

So in order to have the ability to process ex-ML files we have to roll back to R9.

Did anyone succeed to open Cinema DNGs from Canon 50D in Resolve 10 Beta? In my case I have immediate CRASH (

Tragic Lantern / POST PRODUCTION - MOIRE and others
October 06, 2013, 01:06:12 PM
Hey people,

Haven't been here for awhile, so this news may have been here.

Since not long ago the popular still RAW processor Capture One supports Cinema DNGs. (You could import them before, but they would be handled incorrectly).

Besides that it gives another (superior, though cumbersome) way of post-product your movie, it provides some extra tools to handle moire in the footage. I'm not sure how it stands against Raw Therapy, but it definitely outperforms ACR engine.

Below is the footage to compare clean DNGs and ex-CO TIFFs imported to AfterEffects.



Basically, now moire with 50D bothers me much less.

I used to work with my Cinema DNGs on Davinci Resolve 9 and graded several projects. After upgrading to R10 all my 50d RAW clips look just black in Resolve. Any ideas to remedy?

What do you mean DaVinci doesn't support CDNGs? Maybe you should update your software?

The nightlies will include anything that is pulled into the Unified build. It caught up but you'll need to check if the latest TL commits have been merged and download whichever build is newer.

Whatever that means  :o, Andy, hope you will explain everything when an update is up, as you always do. Thanks )

Nice...
Saw it on the iPad, highly compressed artifacts tho. How did you stabilize the shots?

Thanks!

When watching it on YouTube you can set up to 1080p with no visible artifacts.

It was shot either on tripod or handheld with the strap tightly across my neck. No stab in post.

These lenses have a certain film look to them and beautiful bokeh.

I see your point. Nice if it works ok for you )

Amazing. I live in Kiev, Ukraine. No one wants these... ))) I tried them on digital cameras... Ridiculous non-sharpness, CA, etc... Why?

Tragic Lantern / 50D sensor test
August 30, 2013, 12:45:38 PM
Speaking about the noise, sensors and everything:

DXO Mark have completed the sensor test of the new 70D, which shows that its sensor has gone a tiny step from both 7D and 50D.

In terms of color depth 70D is better than 50D by 3(!)%
In terms of dynamic range -- by 1.7%

And only in low-light performance it has advanced by substantial 33%

DXO Mark aren't by far an absolute truth, but they catch the main trend I think.
It gives both reasons to rejoice and to contemplate the Canon development strategy  :P

Yes, Andy, BMCC has ISO 800 as its lowest.

And that's why you have to use ND filter more often than not on BMCC.
And this is basically how I would do the test ideally: clean lens on 50D and ND8 on BMCC.

I didn't get your part on pulling shadows down. Usually to increase the visible DR (and to approach the iconic filmic look) I push the shadows up. I guess everybody else does, no? )

And the noise (if pushed in ACR to Gamma 2.0) looks like this: BMCC is cleaner, 50D has surfacing the rectangular pattern. But both manageable to some extent, I agree.



But I do, I do second you -- looking at this difference, I don't see a 5-year gap between these cameras. Nor a $1500 gap )

I'd like to see them both at ISO800. I know DR might be reduced even further on the 50D but it would be a more accurate indicator and show noise levels. Noise is manageable to some extent.

I could do that next time BMCC is in my hand, but I would disagree it could add accuracy to the test. 800 ISO is basic (native) sensitivity with BMCC. With Canon 50D it is ISO 100. I tend to think that you have to test them in these respective ISOs to be scientifically accurate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Tragic Lantern / Re: 50d vs BMCC :: Dynamic Range

Quote from: Monti on August 30, 2013, 01:04:29 AM
how come u make test on ISO 400 of canon 50d?
watch video above i made on ISO 3200
and thats even without ETTR stuff

I explained it in my post. Also note that usually DR is wider at lower ISOs.

And please stop this trolling. Obviously after all the forums and nicks that you've gone through, you've grown some hard forehead of yourself to ignore remarks to your meaningless posts.

I guess soon the time will come when we on the forum will have to address the moderator to keep this forum clean and acceptable for those who are hungry for 50D RAW info, rather than having to sift through someone's egotistic garbage...

Tragic Lantern / 50d vs BMCC :: Dynamic Range
August 30, 2013, 12:53:57 AM
Hi all, I recently was shooting on BMCC and decided to make comparison of BMCC vs 50D.
So I decided to evaluate the usable DR of both cameras.
This is not a scientific test -- just practical approach.

I was shooting both scenes in a ETTR way (without ETTR module), so that the whites are nearly overexposed.

Then I tried to push the shadows and see how much that can go until you have unacceptable noise (purely in my opinion)

I'm pretty sure that someone can make more sense from these tests, so welcome!

BMCC was shot at ISO 800.

I decided to shoot 50D at ISO 400. On the one hand, I wanted their ISOs somehow to match. On the other hand, ISO 800 of 50D would be too unfair to 50D, being a no low-light king.

The same 17-50 2.8 lens was used.


50D. Shot ETTR. ISO 400. Pushed shadows. No sharpening or noise reduction. ACR 6.0


BMCC. Shot ETTR. ISO 800. Pushed shadows. No sharpening or noise reduction. ACR 6.0


100% Crop: BMCC and 50D - The darkest shadows in the scene and my personal view of acceptable noise.

CONCLUSION: Based on the eyedropper tool info in the shadows I estimate that BMCC is 1 stop wider in its Dynamic Range.

As I said, this is a brief non-scientific test. Don't shoot me based on this. Any reasonable comments are welcome.

And yes, the original RAW files are found here: https://copy.com/oG6C31ghjeJ0

PS Monti, please relax and don't respond to this. You may create your own thread somewhere in the forum and post, post, post... 8)

Tragic Lantern / 50D vs Red Epic
August 20, 2013, 09:23:24 PM
Hey dear Raw'ers ))

Recently I was shooting some footage with Red Epic at 100-200FPS with the resolution 2K.
I thought it would be a good test against our prominent RAW monster )

So please find attached some sample shots from 50D and Red Epic at 2K in comparison.
All shot at 320 ISO

Basically, I congratulate you all with our choice  8)


50D image (upscaled to 1080p) and RedEpic 2K image (100% crops with my CC - black+white + some sharpening but not too aggressive)

Here are fullsize 100% crops (jpg'ed for web):
